D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images

The 49ers bet on Mykel Williams’ upside in the 2025 NFL Draft, and one new teammate expects the gamble to pay off.

The 49ers are yet to even go through a full padded practice, but there are already extremely high expectations for their top draft pick Mykel Williams.

San Francisco selected Williams 11th overall in large part for his ability to dominate in the run game, while also backing him to make the necessary progress as a pass rusher after a college...

The San Francisco 49ers have been linked to several cornerbacks this offseason after losing Charvarius Ward to the Indianapolis Colts in free agency.

Is Robert Saleh the best defensive coordinator in the NFL?

D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images

The Niners brought back their esteemed defensive coordinator for 2025.

The San Francisco 49ers have had a relatively quiet offseason in comparison to past years. They didn’t make any major free agency moves. They extended their key players before organized team activities (OTAs). They focused heavily on the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting 11 players.

Really, the biggest move they made this offseason was bringing back Robert Saleh as their defensive...

The 49ers have been well-represented in the Pro Bowl under Kyle Shanahan. Will they have any first-timers this season?

During their 2024 Super Bowl run, the San Francisco 49ers had a whopping nine players selected, including a host of others named as alternates. The 49ers weren’t nearly as well-represented during last year’s Pro Bowl. Nick Bosa, Kyle Juszczyk, George Kittle, and Fred Warner represented the team, although four...

It shouldn’t have come as a shock that the San Francisco 49ers doubled down on defensive linemen to start the 2025 NFL Draft after letting three starters walk this offseason. Still, Alfred Collins from the University of Texas wasn’t a name that would pop up in mock drafts or top 50 rankings in general.
